TAVARES - The bank alarm system that was supposed to protect a teller who was killed and another who was shot and paralyzed last year in a botched robbery was ``dangerous and defective,'' according to a lawsuit filed Friday in Lake County Circuit Court.

The suit against Foreline Security Corp. of Tampa was filed by Marishia Scott, who was injured in the shooting, and by the family of Heather Young, who died in the attack at a United Southern Bank branch in Mount Dora.
